US and Australian authorities have arrested hundreds of suspected criminals that were tricked into using an encrypted messaging app created by the FBI.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) led the operation, codenamed Operation Ironside, which saw the police force work for almost three years in collaboration with the FBI.
The FBI developed an app named ‘Anom’ and began running it without the knowledge of the criminal underworld. The AFP provided highly skilled technical staff and capabilities to decrypt and read encrypted communications in real time, which the AFP said it gave “law enforcement an edge it had never had before”.
Anom was installed on mobile phones that were stripped of other capabilities. These devices could be bought on the black market, and could not make calls or send emails. They were only able to send messages to another device that had app installed, and criminals had to know other criminals to get a device. More
They have an app other than Facebook?
Criminals? You mean white, conservative anti vaxxers?
Gee Wally, it’s nice to know the FBI is doing something, somewhere!
Over here it seems like they only know how to shit in a Conservative’s rain barrel…
Wait a minute. This is the same FBI who illegally put spies in the Trump organization and couldn’t find any wrongdoing from Hillary, Hunter, (add anyone else you want here)?
What am I missing?
When the FBI gets a laptop showing extensive drug use, porn, pedophilia, government corruption, kickbacks and illegal purchase of a firearm by a self professed drug user they initiate a cover-up.
No investigation, no indictments and no prosecution.
NO integrity.
The FBI has been weaponized by the progressive/communist democrats to cover their criminal activities and their family members. The FBI is a democrat clown show.
They couldn’t wait to give themselves a big pat on the back after the arrests and tell the eff’n world how they did it. If they had just announced the arrests and didn’t say shiite about how they did it, they could have continued to use the same program over and over again, but they are all too narcistic to stay quiet about it and now will have to come up w/some other exotic scheme to trap the ever evolving underworld criminals, yet they have yet to file charges against all of the Trump supporters arrested on Jan 6 and have kept them isolated /tortured for no reason other than ” ORANGE MAN BAD/WORSE THAN HIROSHIMA MASSACRE AT THE CONGRESSIONAL BUILDING” we have to arrest these unarmed criminals that were let into the building by security forces told to let them in. Federal ButtF**kin’Idiots.
The FBI doesn’t want any competition in criminal activities. No doubt no FBI crime boss or their friends in Washington circles will be caught up in the text sting operation. What are friends like Hunter for except for fronts??
Don’t type anything you don’t want used against you. Nothing is secure, so just be in the open about what you want people to know.
Statement # one, all 18 of the agencies are corrupt and given to the communist. Prove me wrong.
There may be a few protectors of Liberty and Truth but ratting out, doesn’t work out well.
